I am mighty frustrated by the near daily article alleging one or another issue is responsible for high retail energy costs.

What I know is that the wholesale price of electricity has apparently fallen substantially, the price of coal has also, I believe, fallen and I’d wager that directors of the energy distributors have been required for years to provide depreciation in their accounts for the replacement of poles and wires.

So what is going on?

Is there an honest reader out there who can explain the facts and, better still, advise what the general public needs to do to get a fair deal?
